New year, new quilt

Actually it was finished right at the end of 2011. This very simple quilt is called 'City Lights' and is supposed to look like a city building at dusk with the lights going on. I made it for a friend for her 40th – she is absolutely impossible to buy for (has everything!) and I only started it about three weeks before her birthday 'cause I couldn't think of anything else.

I also had to learn how to quilt pretty quickly! The back of it's not brilliant since it was my first attempt, but I still think it looks pretty effective!

I didn't think to get photos of her opening it, but yes she seemed to like it and I think she was really chuffed that I'd made it.She emailed pics to her fam and it's hanging over the back of her long couch so it's on prominent display!
